4. Depending on the length of downrod you use, you

may need to cut the lead wires back to simplify the

wiring. If you decide to cut back the lead wires, it is

suggested you do so in the following manner: Take

the lead wires and make sure you have pulled them

all the way through the top of the downrod. Measure

8inchesofleadwire,thencuttheexcesswireowith

wire cutters (not included).

5. Note: If you did not cut back the lead wires in Step 4,

Step 5 is not necessary and you may proceed to Step 6.

If you decided to cut back the lead wire in Step 4, strip

1/2 in. of insulation from the end of the white wire.

Twist the stripped ends of each strand of wire within

the insulation with pliers (not included). Repeat this

step for black, blue and green wires.

6. Install the ball end of the downrod (A) into the opening

of mounting bracket (D). Align one of the four slots in

the ball with the tab in the mounting bracket (D).

Note: The downrod (A) should not rotate if installed

correctly.

DANGER: Failure to align the slot in the
